A devastated Colorado farmer has made an emotional plea to her followers after cruel thieves stole her entire livestock right before Christmas.

The farmer, known on TikTok as ‘twocenttuesday’, broke down in tears as she revealed her four prized Berkshire female pigs along with 60 meat birds and 20 laying hens were stolen from her property just south of Pueblo, Colorado.

‘We’ve just been devastated,’ she sobbed in the TikTok video posted on Christmas Eve. ‘Our livestock and our livelihood has just been stolen.’

‘If anyone in the southern Colorado region, or surrounding areas could help me out, that would be super swell.’ 

She captioned the now-viral video: ‘TikTok do your thing. These poor babies were all stolen last night just south of Pueblo Colorado. Please help us find them! They are precious to us and don’t deserve whatever is happening to them. Thanks!’

The farmer posted a follow-up video where she shockingly admitted she’s found ‘peace’ with the tragedy due to the overwhelming community response.

In the touching video shared Wednesday, the TikToker compared her story with the Grinch trying to steal Christmas.

‘You know how the Grinch tried to steal Christmas from the Whos? Well, we had a real Grinch try to steal our Christmas,’ she said.

‘But just like in the movie, instead we found compassion and kindness and a community of support,’ she continued.

‘Someone stole my pigs and my chickens but the bible tells us all things work together for the good of those who love god.’

She revealed there’s no update on her missing livestock, however, she’s found ‘peace about it’ after receiving the outpouring of support.

‘We have no news on our livestock but there was such a silver lining of support that i kind of have a peace about it.

Users rushed to offer support and advice, with one suggesting she check the ‘closest auction yards and her local brand inspector.’

Many other wished her luck and prayed for the return of her livestock.

‘Have you hired any new workers or had any new visitors? This sounds like an inside job,’ another user questioned.

Warm storm delivers modest totals to Colorado’s northern mountains

Friday morning wrapped up a warm storm across Colorado’s northern and central mountains, bringing totals of up to 10 inches of snowfall for several resorts.

Higher elevation areas of the northern mountains — particularly those in and near Summit County and closer to the Continental Divide — received the most amount of snow, with Copper, Winter Park and Breckenridge mountains seeing among the highest totals.

Meanwhile, lower base areas and valleys received rain and cloudy skies, thanks to a warmer storm with a snow line of roughly 9,000 feet.



Earlier this week, OpenSnow meteorologists predicted the storm’s snow totals would be around 5-10 inches, closely matching actual totals for the northern mountains. The central mountains all saw less than 5 inches of snow.
